US Senator Says Pakistan Can Play Key Role in Middle East Peace
US Senator Cory Booker has said that Pakistan can play an important role in establishing peace in the Middle East and helping end the ongoing regional tensions.
According to media reports, Booker made the remarks at a time when Pakistan has already undertaken diplomatic efforts to facilitate talks and a possible ceasefire between the United States and Iran.
Pakistan maintains diplomatic relations with both Washington and Tehran, giving it the potential to serve as a channel of communication between the two sides.
Earlier this year, Pakistan sought to facilitate and host talks between the United States and Iran, while consistently calling for regional dialogue, diplomacy and de-escalation.
Pakistan’s diplomatic significance has grown further in recent days, particularly in the context of a new joint defense agreement with Saudi Arabia and Türkiye.
Booker’s remarks indicate that some circles in Washington may increasingly view Pakistan not only as a security partner but also as a potential regional mediator and diplomatic bridge for peace.
